Mr. President. I have in my hand this morn�ng the Annual Report of the Commissioner General of Immigration of the United States for 1926. I wish to read an excerpt from it to correct a statement which I made in a speech here on the socalled Wadsworth amendment. I asked some one how many immigrants were coming into the United States a year and the reply was about 300.000. The statement which I wish to read is as follows: In addition to the 496.106 aliens admitted during the year. 20.550 applicants were denied admission and 1.030.679 alien seamen were examined. making a total of 1.547.335 aliens nccorded immigration Inspection in 1926. The number of all classes inspected in the previous fiscal year was 1.488.051. or 59.284 less than during the fiscal year just closed. I want this statement to appear in the RECORD so as to correct the impression that my speech may have made that there were only 300.000 immigrants admitted in 1926.
